  • Ideally, it would be best if you situated your Dovecote Nest Box so that the hole faces North, North-East away from the prevailing weather conditions.
  • Site the nest box on a tree, wall, fence or building at least 1.5m – 2m above the ground, away from easy access by cats and predators.
  • Nesting is most likely during April and May and in the event of chicks hatching there will be frenetic feeding activity by the parent birds.
  • Take care not to disturb during this time as any intervention may result in the parent birds' eggs or young being abandoned.
  • The nest boxes are made from slow-seasoned FSC timber and may be painted annually with matching water-based paints to maintain their appearance.
  • The nest box may be cleaned out of any old nesting material and disinfected with a suitable product outside of the breeding season (Sept to Feb).
